"Smack..."
The crisp sound of a whip striking the air echoed along the official road.
The conscripted farmers were panting heavily as they struggled to pull the massive object behind them—a huge granite boulder, four zhang high and nearly ten zhang long.
In front of the granite rock hung a yellow cloth inscribed with the words "Stone of Divine Martial Manifestation." This granite rock was presented to Emperor Huizong by the Hangzhou Foundry and was known as the "Granite Tribute." The five characters "Stone of Divine Martial Manifestation" were personally inscribed and bestowed by Emperor Huizong.
Around the farmers, Song Dynasty soldiers cracked their whips, making a snapping sound to intimidate them. Anyone who was slow would be immediately lashed out.
However, they controlled their strength; although it hurt, it wasn't to the point of tearing the skin open. If the farmer were seriously injured or sick, it would actually hinder their progress.
Ahead of the procession pulling the enormous granite stones, four or five officials in different colored and styled robes rode on tall horses, chatting and laughing about romance and boasting about their amorous affairs. They were oblivious to the farmers struggling to pull the stone convoy behind them, who were being whipped as a matter of course; they were used to it all.
"Who are you?" A loud shout rang out at the front of the group, attracting the attention of several officials.
In the middle of the road ahead, a mysterious figure, over nine feet tall, wearing strange armor covering his entire body and wielding a halberd over thirteen feet long, was walking towards the group.
"Surround him," the leading official immediately ordered.
Wang Han's armor might fool the civilians in the army who didn't know much about it, but the soldiers and officers were familiar with military armor and didn't have this style of armor, so they immediately mistook Wang Han for a villain.
Upon receiving the order, a dozen soldiers immediately rushed toward the mysterious figure with long spears.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Wang Han continued walking without stopping, only glancing at the soldiers rushing towards him.
"Clang clang clang..." With just one glance, the soldiers who were rushing towards Wang Han froze in place as if they had been frozen in place, and then fell to the ground, their bodies trembling like leaves.
Wang Han's single glance made them feel as if the entire world was a pile of corpses—mountains, earth, rivers—everything looked like a heap of corpses, a pool of blood. It was terrifying beyond compare, even surpassing the legendary eighteen levels of hell.
Although Wang Han's armor couldn't intimidate these people, his murderous aura was something they couldn't be fooled by.
"Who are you? What kind of sorcery do you use?" The leading official was startled when he saw the soldiers suddenly fall down without warning. He asked nervously, sounding like a sick cat howling.
"This mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass through, leave your toll! Who do you think I am!" Upon hearing this, Wang Han brandished his halberd and pointed at several officials, saying directly.
"Daring to rob the imperial road is simply courting death! Seize him!" Upon hearing this, the leading official immediately ordered the soldiers around him to take Wang Han down.
"This..." Seeing this, the soldiers around the official looked at each other, but none of them dared to rush forward. After all, they had already seen the fate of the dozen or so people who had just been killed by this sorcerer with a single glance.
"What are you standing there for? Seize this monster! Do you want to disobey military orders?" Seeing that the soldiers dared not step forward, the leading official shouted sternly.
"Charge!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers could only shout to each other and charge towards Wang Han together.
"Why don't you all check who the monster is first?" Wang Han sneered, making a gesture with his hand and pointing at several officials, silently thinking: Evolution cheat.
Wang Han's eyes turned bloodshot, and the illusion was silently and deliberately released.
Wang Han's feint was like a mental suggestion, causing all the charging soldiers to subconsciously turn their heads to look behind them.
The next moment, all the soldiers, including the farmers, stared wide-eyed. The officials, who had just been so arrogant and domineering, began to swell up like sugar figurines, growing to five or six meters tall, like giant round stones. Their horses were crushed beneath them. Then these blobs of flesh shriveled and cracked, chunks of dried flesh peeling off, revealing purplish-red flesh or skin underneath.
“Peng…”
The next moment, several huge, shriveled spheres of flesh were suddenly broken open from the inside and exploded.
"Roar..." One by one, terrifying monsters resembling large fat worms with four limbs appeared on the spot. These monsters were like disgusting mountains of flesh with four limbs, disgusting and terrifying.
"Yo... monster..."
Everyone panicked. The soldiers scattered, and the farmers dropped their ropes and fled in a panic.
"The adults are monsters in disguise." The soldiers were also stunned, their hands and feet trembling as they faced these enormous monsters.
"Roar..." With a series of loud roars, the five fleshy monsters moved. Despite their large size, they were as agile as birds, not only extremely fast but also with outstanding jumping ability.
Wang Han's evolution cheat allows the target to evolve according to the environment. It's unknown what kind of harsh, disgusting, and terrifying environment Wang Han created for these officials.
"Boom..." With just a few leaps, five fleshy monsters blocked the fleeing farmers from five directions, their drooling, disgusting mouths roaring at them.
Upon seeing the roaring monster ahead, the fleeing farmers were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Many of them immediately lost control of their bladder and bowels, and some even fainted from fright.
The monster roared and casually grabbed a farmer who had fainted from fright, then flung him more than ten meters away.
Seeing this, Wang Han, hidden behind his mask, revealed a strange smile. His halberd instantly flew from his hand, like a spear, towards one of the monsters.
"Pfft..." The halberd, carrying terrifying force, shot directly into the monster's head, penetrating deeply inside.
“Peng…”
With a loud bang, the monster fell backward.
"Roar..." The remaining four monsters roared as they saw their companion killed, abandoning the trembling farmers and charging towards Wang Han like a convoy of roaring trucks.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The sound of four arrows whistling through the air rang out simultaneously.
"Pfft pfft pfft pfft..." Almost at the same second, the sounds of four sharp arrows piercing through skulls rang out simultaneously.
Dark purple blood splattered like a jet of water, and the four charging monsters fell to the ground at the same time. The force of the impact still dragged them seven or eight meters across the ground. A sharp arrow with three hooks protruded half a foot from the back of their heads, and dark purple blood kept flowing out from the blood groove of the arrow.
In the distance, Wang Han held a bow in one hand and maintained a shooting posture with the other, the bowstring of the double-barreled iron bow still vibrating continuously. Four arrows were fired simultaneously, all hitting the center of his forehead; Wang Han did not use any cheat codes.
